We would expect RC burials for Joseph and Mary but it seems not Rookwood.

Rita at crematorium Rookwood and don't know about Charles, but not buried at Rookwood RC.

No sign of a tree.

Middle name still looks more like Eva. The first letter is not like the 'A' in Alma.

Thanks Geoff.

Now I'm confused.

1884 marriage Joseph D. to Mary Sweeney.

John Joseph/Joseph John is the son of Joseph D.

Charles born 1890 to J J and Mary Sweeney ??

Thanks Geoff.

1924 marriage has carpenter not upholsterer.

I know what gibbo would say. :) It's one of my typical topics.

If it's the right Maggie then we have a brass finisher. ??

But ... identified by son, John Joseph Grant.

The 1924 marriage has John Joseph not Joseph Dordan.
